Benefits

Waterfront Lifestyle/Events Calendar

The most popular benefit of many villages is the array of social activities they host or facilitate. The nearby Smithsonian complex, the National Mall, Downtown, East Potomac Park, Nationals Ballpark, and many other cultural institutions just blocks away offer an unending array of recreation, tours, gallery talks, lectures, and more. Monday Neighborhood Nights offer varied dining at great prices, and more informal lunch gatherings are common. From a night at the opera to major league baseball, we have something for everyone.

Available to Full, Supporting (formerly Associate), Social, Prospective, and Full Members.

Member Services Center

Our staff members and volunteers will be ready to help you navigate the questions and concerns that arise from a sometimes overwhelming variety of public and private agencies offering senior support services, as well as offer referrals to vendors vetted for Village members' services at the national, local, or neighborhood level.

Available to Full, Supporting (formerly Associate), and Prospective members.

Member Services Concierge

Personal service by telephone, in our office, or your home to assist with resources available from public and private agencies offering senior support services. Your Member Services Concierge, with your proper legal approvals, can make telephone calls on your behalf, set appointments, and even arrange a volunteer Friendly Companion to join you for note-taking during meetings.

A premium service available to Full members.

Home Services

Personalized service to assist you with our vetted vendors for services including health care, home maintenance, grooming needs, housekeeping and laundry, auto repair, home and mobile technology, pet care, and more. Your Home Services Concierge can make appointments for you to interview service providers or get estimates, and even schedule one of our volunteer Friendly Companions to join you and take notes. The Village will also act as your advocate should any invoicing or warranty problems arise.

Your Home Services Concierge can also coordinate volunteer support for daily telephone check-ins, Friendly Companion visits (and let us know if you'd enjoy a pet along for the visit!), gardening help, and more.

Meal delivery can also be arranged, as well as shopping help or delivery from CVS, Harris Teeter, Safeway, and Whole Foods (opening on New Jersey Ave SE in October 2017).

A premium service available to Full members.

Transportation Services

Mobility is key to maintaining a happy and healthy lifestyle, and our Transportation Services package has what you need. A weekly trip to your favorite Southwest or Navy Yard grocery store and pharmacy is offered, as well as 12 trips per year per household for medical appointments anywhere in the District* and Arlington County. There are also four discretionary trips per year to the District or Arlington County destination of your choice. Service is provided by a combination of our vetted, insured volunteers, shared ride services such as Lyft and Uber, shuttle buses, and taxis.

We're also able to make reservations for you with airlines, Amtrak, bus companies, and other transport providers - at no fee.

A premium service available to Full members.

* Please speak with a staff member for transportation options to Maryland medical facilities directly adjacent to a District boundary.
